Sent my BC receiver in for a .38-55 barrel on August 22. Due to getting activated for Hurricane Gustav, I wasn't able to call the Ilion to find out the status til this past Monday (Sept
. They told me that the .38-55 barrel was no longer available, so I told them to put a 7mm-08 barrel on it (needed something for my daughter to shoot during muzzleloader season (BC is legal in Louisiana)). Called back on Sept 11 expecting to hear that it was still waiting to get on a bench and they told me the barrel had already been fitted and the rifle was being test fired. Called back today (Sept 15) and they said it was in packaging. Now, if they can just get it in the mail . . . . So far, it's been less than four weeks from mailing it (and 1 week is on me, because I couldn't call them to tell them what to change the barrel order to) to packaging for return, about 1/2 of what I expected. I'll let you know when it comes in (I'll probably call at least one more time to see if it got mailed, lol).
